VIDEO: Police brutality against peaceful Hizb ut-Tahrir protest in Dhaka, Bangladesh

written by Editorial
After Juma’a prayer on Friday, 27th March 2009, in the Bangladesh capital Dhaka, members and supporters of Hizb ut Tahrir’s global work for Khilafah protested against the arrest of 31 members and activists of Hizb ut-Tahrir.

During 1st-2nd March 2009, 31 members and activists of Hizb ut-Tahrir Bangladesh were arrested for distributing leaflets exposing the so-called Border Defence Force (BDR) mutiny, as an Indian conspiracy to undermine and weaken the defence forces. The Bangladesh government rather than arresting the cold-blooded murderers and conspirators has waged a campaign of arresting and harassing the sincere politicians of Hizb ut-Tahrir whose only concern is to safeguard the security of the Muslims of Bangladesh including the defence forces of the country. It is well known by everyone that while the commanding officers of the BDR were brutally massacred the government was meeting the leaders of these killers and issuing a general amnesty for all.
The video makes for shocking viewing. After one of the speeches, takbirs ring out, before police decide to charge the demonstrators, beating them mercilessly.
May Allah سبحانه وتعالى grant the demonstrators jennah for their sacrifice in His cause. Ameen.

Those who carry the Da’wah to bring about change live in a situation similar to the situation of the Muslims in Makkah. The Kuffar in Makkah used to order the Muslims to disbelieve, recant from Islam and leave the carrying of the Da’wah to others and not undertake their worship publicly in front of the masses.

Such demands have been made by the tyrant rulers including the demand that the Da’wah carriers either become spies or intellectual agents promoting the ideas, which serve the leadership of the incompetent rulers and prolong their existence by keeping the Kuffar influence in the Muslim lands. Due to this, there is an army of spies, intellectual agents and muftis acting according to this demand. I do not believe that even Quraysh made such demands. To realise the above demands the Kuffar of Makkah used various means at their disposal, such as killing, torture, causing harm and injury, confinement, keeping in shackles, blocking Muslims emigration, seizing of property, mocking, hitting livelihood, boycotting and ruining people’s reputations by spreading false propaganda. The tyrant rulers of today used these means and added new ones and became experts in torture. They used modern discoveries like electricity to torture people instead of using it to bring the industrial revolution. The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions adopted stances, which we need to emulate and follow.
